2. October 2025 - I just moved from github to codeberg. That is because of multiple reasons where just moving away from microsoft is one, that it's hosted in europe is another. But the thing that's maybe the most important is that microsoft reacently moved github under the AI department. That was all for now.
03. October 2025 -The adventure to move away from relying on computers is fun, and now I've grown more comfortable with my typewritter, but I have one major issue. How should i scan documents so that i can send them as .pdf files? Right now I'm using google drive (I know) as it's the only service on my phone that supports scanning and making pdfs from a document.
Part 2, I have now made a working kernel with core utils and some other software that i pciked out, but i did not like how it was and the bootloader (syslinux), so i will start over on this and maybe try with the lts kernel instead of using the latest one. Also some of the software i had in the install image should be optinal, insted of baked in, so the image shouldnt be too large in size. Will restart on this tomorrow, sunday or on monday.
04. October 2025 -Today I have not done much, but I have thought some more about it and have come to the conclusion that i should just do it all over again and not think much of what I did yesterday. I may wait to the next weekend before i set up LFS or something simular again. On another note there have been some minor problems as someone in the next room have been needing it to be quiet, and therefor I could not write and use my typewriter as I normally do. I have also thought about if I should migrate some of my discussion away from discord and maybe matrix to IRC, as I do enjoy it more and one can be more anynomus there than on the platforms I use today. This was a small update on my quest for true freedom on the web and with using a compute.
Part 2 again, I updated my tmux config to make it fit me more, so added session name insted of username to the left, changed the bordercolour from the active opane to magenta and the inactive to cyan. I also changed my neovim configuration file where i merged some lines and functions into one line insted of 5, added some comments to it and got it down to 125 lines in the init.lua file.
5. October 2025 -I have not done anything worth noting since yesterday, but I do have something i would like to get off my mind. Lately I've seen more and more about the arch linux setup or window manager setup "Omarchy", and because of that I myself have looked slightly into it even if I would never use it myself as it's smart to at least see what others do and what they like, to see if there is anything I could improve in my setup or if I should look more into that said other setup that mine. But, as omarchy come into the popular view another issue has come forwards, and that's DHHs political views that I myself seem unacsaptable. One article that can explain this better than me is this one, where you can read more indepth around this issue. I will bring the main thing forwards, as many have other thougfhts than me and you we must tolerate that, but when someone says that a city and country is unrecognisable and that he would never even consider visiting because a part of the population is of another ethnisity and have a diffrent colour of their skin I will not support or say much good about their products. I myself do like to think that I have standrads, and hyprland in of itself is too far for me, but with omarchy and this remark from DHH it's at a point where I would like to just say it, don't use it.
As a small sidenote, i just figured out that codeberg doesn't use javascript, or at least that it isn't needed, so i can use the website and browse on my tinkpad in the TTY in w3m. Thanks a lot, i will now not be depending on my gui computers at all times, but can also use my favourite one.
6. October 2025 - Today I've not done much, but something I have been doing is checking out oxwm and nwm by xsoder, both of wich run on around 10mb ram and are x11 window managers, where Tonay have said that he wants to port oxwm to wayland in the distant future. As of the time I'm writing this I'm leaning in the direction of oxwm, but not 100% sure yet. It has a nice bar built-in and has more features, and is simular to dwm in m,any ways, as he himself wanted a 'better DWM'. I will keep Niri for wayland usage, but when I get back home I belive that I will switch my daily WM to oxwm, as it's way lighter, has eveything I want in it and I can support someone that I want to continue doing his work on the tools he creates and his videos. -- A little side-note, a friend of mine installed nixos today, and I'm excited to see how he does. Of course I hope he stays, but there is a large chance that he goes back to opensuse, but we can hope he doesnt. That was all for today.
7. October 2025 - I have started to try to learn some more about Git today, and will create a part in the rgfzf script to be able to handle the most used git commands and actions through that. So as of right now I can add files, commit them with messages and push the reposetory change. This will be expanded as I feel the need for it, and I will try to learn to use git fugetive plugin for neovim and maybe a tui tool like lazygit if I feel that the rgfzf script is not enough. I have not done much today, but it is a start. I also want to add to the linux distro thing I've hinted about, this will be set on pause til I've made all the tools I want around this distro, so eveything else for it must be in place first, and after that I can continue on that.
8. October 2025 - I have now bought an old Acer Aspire x3200 to set up an server. This is as I need a pc to have in case, as a backup and to run a small server as I want to host an IRC for me and my friends, and maybe one for more as well, that will have to wait and see. This is an old pc, but has a 86x 64bit cpu dual core, 2GB ram and two sata slots, and with both HDMI and VGA. I can slighly upgrade this PC later on if i feel like it and I like the case, so that can be reused in the future. As a start I will set up an IRC server I and a friend can test, then invite some more as I go. And a small fun thing is that I know the seller, but didn't find out before I had decided to buy it.
9. October 2025 - Today I've used the day to travel, so not done much. I got the server machine to its place and took off the side panel. Some cleaning has started, and I now have to find/buy a sata 3,5 hdd or a sata ssd, where the newer ones will not work. That was all.
